The Beautiful Burgundy Canal

June 28th

It seems we never tire of riding along the Burgundy Canal.  The section between Pont d'Ouche and Pont Pany is always a lovely ride.  The only problem today was there were a lot of bugs around because it's very still and humid so stopping to have lunch along the grassy canal side was not an option.  We rode into a small village and found some shaded steps to the church and planted ourselves down for a quick bite.  Of course we passed by many locks and lock houses and once again saw the hotel barge L'Impressionniste on its way to Dijon.  A nice roundtrip ride for about 43km got us back to Beaune for a relaxing afternoon.  Rain is predicted for the next few days so we will take time off from the bikes to explore the area and perhaps do some wine tasting.
